It is recommended to use the Ryzen 7 3700x with B550M-C motherboard for your work (CAD and gaming) rig as it has more cores and threads which will result in better performance. The Core i5 2500k and P8Z68-V motherboard can be used for your NAS setup as it will be on 24/7 and the Ryzen 7 3700x will consume more power and lead to higher electricity bills. Also, the Ryzen 7 3700x is a newer and more efficient setup for streaming movies and hosting a website locally, but make sure to check if the B550M-C motherboard supports the necessary components for these tasks.
